Skin Lesions & Unwanted Growths

Understanding Common Skin Growths

Why Lesions Develop

Skin lesions such as warts, skin tags, and precancerous spots can develop due to sun exposure, viral infections, or natural aging. While many are benign, some may cause irritation or cosmetic concern. Monitoring changes in size, color, or texture is important to determine appropriate care and ensure safety.

What to Expect After Treatment

Following lesion removal, mild redness or blistering may occur as the treated tissue heals. The area typically resolves within days to weeks, depending on size and location. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, with minimal scarring when aftercare instructions are followed.

We had a wonderful start at Glotologi Med Spa. Dr. Howard was personable and very easy to talk with, he took the time to listen to our goals with the health diagnostics we were seeking. He explained the testing process, outlining the benefits so they felt understandable and scientifically sound. We highly recommend Glotologi Med Spa to anyone looking for thoughtful, professional guidance about their health.

I went in for Botox and couldn’t be happier with the results. The staff was welcoming, gentle, and really took their time to make sure everything looked perfect. The space is gorgeous and so relaxing. Highly recommend!

Chrissy Constantino

Best med spa in the area by far. Dr. Howard is great, I’ve been seeing him for a year for Dysport and microneedling. 10 out of 10, all gold stars for this place.

Donna Thomas

I love Dr.Howard, and his entire staff. They make you feel very welcomed. If you’re looking for a doctor that truly cares about his patients look no further. I was referred to him by my mom, and then my sister because they knew I’d been searching for a doctor that actually cares about his patients. He actually takes time to listen to his patients. He’s a very intelligent and experienced doctor that has heart for people. I highly recommend him.

Shena Greer

I am so grateful to dr.Howard for his phenomenal support and caring, careful way of handling my problem with eyebrow muscular contracture that he helps me relax. I've asked him about other treatments, some of which I plan to return for, but he wouldn't offer anything that I didn't really need and always advised to go slow and come multiple times, if needed, rather than spending a lot of money at once, do a lot of things, and then regret and stress out about it later. Since I stopped being a pediatric patient 30 years ago, he is the 1st cosmetic doctor that I truly felt safe with, and who I think is genuinely there to help people.

Darlene Medellin

What a hidden jewel! I’ve never met a doctor with such extensive knowledge across so many medical fields. And that’s not the best part. Dr. Howard was personable and sincerely prioritized establishing a trustworthy doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Howard and I discussed everything from the importance of healthy hormone levels at any age to testing for neurotransmitter balance, facial fillers, and cutting-edge advancements in collagen production. By the end of my appointment, we had established both a short-term and long-term game plan for my aesthetic goals and how to improve my overall physical health. It was an impressive experience for sure!
